The amount of the standard deduction you will receive depends on the filing status you qualify for. In 2014, single taxpayers who file separate returns can claim a standard deduction of $6,200; this amount also applies to married couples who file separately. If you are married and are filing jointly, the standard deduction doubles to $12,400, while those filing as head of household can claim $9,100.
